Description
本發明是關於一種多使用者多天線系統之傳送速率動態調節機制,特別是關於在該機制下的通信設備之傳輸速率調整方法、無線通信系統之資料傳輸控制方法與資料傳輸控制裝置。The present invention relates to a transmission rate dynamic adjustment mechanism of a multi-user multi-antenna system, and more particularly to a transmission rate adjustment method of a communication device under the mechanism, a data transmission control method and a data transmission control apparatus of the wireless communication system.
無線網路目前兩個主流趨勢為:因應無線路由器所支援的天線數量不斷提升,開發可以支援多數天線的無線資料傳輸系統,以及支援客戶端的多天線設備,形成多使用者多天線網路系統。在這種稱為多使用者多天線系統(multiuser,multi-input multi-output system,MU-MIMO system)中,有多數使用者使用多天線的客戶端設備,同時分享單一多天線路由器的頻寬資源。The two mainstream trends in wireless networks are: in response to the increasing number of antennas supported by wireless routers, the development of wireless data transmission systems that support most antennas, and multi-antenna devices that support clients, forming a multi-user multi-antenna network system. In this multi-input multi-output system (MU-MIMO system), many users use multi-antenna client devices while sharing the frequency of a single multi-antenna router. Wide resources.
在傳統無線網路中,單一時間只允許一個使用者傳送訊號,此時,傳輸速率與使用者設備到無線收發器間的通道特性有關。由於通道特性在一段時間內只會有些微的變化,傳輸速率是根據所記錄的過去最佳傳輸速率來決定。傳送端選擇過去最好傳輸速率來傳送資料。選擇傳輸速率後,利用這個資訊來對資料編碼,並且設定所對應的標頭。接收端即可藉由這個標頭提供的資訊,解回原本的資料。In a conventional wireless network, only one user is allowed to transmit signals in a single time. At this time, the transmission rate is related to the channel characteristics between the user equipment and the wireless transceiver. Since the channel characteristics will only change slightly over a period of time, the transmission rate is determined based on the recorded past optimal transmission rate. The transmitting end selects the best transmission rate in the past to transmit the data. After selecting the transmission rate, use this information to encode the data and set the corresponding header. The receiving end can retrieve the original data by using the information provided by this header.
為因應多使用者多天線系統的需求,目前技術的作法是改變接收端的解碼器的設計。在解碼訊號的時候,利用ZF-SIC(Zero-Forcing Successive Interference Cancellation),使路由器可以利用MIMO的特性,在兩個使用者設備同時傳送訊號的時候,將兩個使用者設備傳來的訊號各自解回,以達到多個使用者同時在無線網路中傳送資料的目標。In order to meet the needs of multi-user multi-antenna systems, the current state of the art is to change the design of the decoder at the receiving end. When decoding signals, ZF-SIC (Zero-Forcing Successive Interference Cancellation) is used to enable routers to use the characteristics of MIMO to transmit signals from two user devices when two user devices simultaneously transmit signals. Resolve to achieve the goal of multiple users simultaneously transmitting data over the wireless network.
不過,現有技術的方法並沒有考慮所選用的傳輸速率在MIMO系統中所受到的影響,而是單純選擇一個使用者設備已知最佳傳輸速率,作為傳輸速率。從最近所發表的技術文獻中可知,於MU-MIMO中,使用者設備的最佳傳輸速率不只與自身的通道特性有關,也與同時傳送的其他設備的通道特性有密切的關係。同時,在MU-MIMO環境下,同時傳送的使用者設備並非固定,而是有相當頻繁的變化。每個封包都可能與不同的使用者設備的封包一起傳送。所以要達到每個封包都可以正確地選擇速率,即成為一個十分重要的課題。換言之,如果傳送者選擇的傳輸速率太高,會讓接收端完全無法解出封包。此外,在MU-MIMO環境下將更為顯著的,選擇錯誤的傳輸速率不只影響到自己的封包,也會使得其他的同時傳送者所送的封包無法正確解碼。結果不只無法提高傳輸速率,反而會造成整個網路故障,無法傳送即解碼任何訊息。However, the prior art method does not consider the impact of the selected transmission rate in the MIMO system, but simply selects an optimum transmission rate known to the user equipment as the transmission rate. It is known from the recently published technical literature that in MU-MIMO, the optimal transmission rate of the user equipment is not only related to its own channel characteristics, but also closely related to the channel characteristics of other devices transmitted at the same time. At the same time, in the MU-MIMO environment, the simultaneously transmitted user equipment is not fixed, but has quite frequent changes. Each packet may be transmitted with a packet of a different user device. Therefore, to achieve the correct rate of selection for each packet, it becomes a very important issue. In other words, if the transmission rate selected by the transmitter is too high, the receiver will not be able to solve the packet at all. In addition, in the MU-MIMO environment, it is more remarkable that selecting the wrong transmission rate not only affects its own packet, but also causes the packets sent by other simultaneous transmitters to be decoded correctly. As a result, it is not only impossible to increase the transmission rate, but it will cause the entire network to fail, and it will not transmit or decode any message.
本發明的目的乃是在提供一種多使用者多天線系統之傳送速率動態調節機制,可以在多使用者多天線系統中,供使用者設備選擇最佳的資料傳送速率。It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmission rate dynamic adjustment mechanism for a multi-user multi-antenna system that allows the user equipment to select an optimal data transmission rate in a multi-user multi-antenna system.

This method of analysis has been proposed by many experts, but the most commonly used method is the ZF-SIC (Zero-Forcing Successive Interference Cancellation) method described above. The law is described below.
當該無線收發器1先與第一通信設備2建立連線之後,該第一通信設備2將以一速率傳送資訊流到無線收發器1。設該第一通信設備2傳輸資料的速率為第二速率。該第二速率可以任何適用的方法決定。一般而言,乃是選擇該第一通信設備2紀錄中的最佳傳輸速率。該速率可以利用SNR直接進行查表,推算出最佳的傳送速率,其方法已於其他論文中提出。假設該無線收發器1具有二支天線11與12,則該第一通信設備2所送來的信號串,可以投射成該2支天線所定義的平面上,成為一向量h1 =(h11 ,h12 )。其後,無線收發器1也與第二通信設備3建立連線。該第二通信設備 3將以一速率傳送資訊流到無線收發器1。設該第二通信設備3傳輸資料的速率為第一速率。該第一速率可以任何適用的方法決定,例如紀錄中的最佳傳輸速率。此時,該無線收發器1即以Zero-Forcing方法,將所收到的資料串,投射到與第一通信設備2的通道方向t垂直方向,便可解出第二通信設備3所傳送的資料。After the wireless transceiver 1 first establishes a connection with the first communication device 2, the first communication device 2 will transmit the information stream to the wireless transceiver 1 at a rate. The rate at which the first communication device 2 transmits data is set to a second rate. This second rate can be determined in any suitable manner. In general, the optimum transmission rate in the recording of the first communication device 2 is selected. This rate can be directly looked up using SNR to derive the optimal transfer rate. The method has been proposed in other papers. Assuming that the wireless transceiver 1 has two antennas 11 and 12, the signal string sent by the first communication device 2 can be projected onto the plane defined by the two antennas to become a vector h 1 = (h 11 , h 12 ). Thereafter, the wireless transceiver 1 also establishes a connection with the second communication device 3. The second communication device 3 will transmit the information stream to the wireless transceiver 1 at a rate. The rate at which the second communication device 3 transmits data is set to a first rate. The first rate can be determined by any suitable method, such as the optimal transmission rate in the record. At this time, the wireless transceiver 1 can project the received data string to the direction perpendicular to the channel direction t of the first communication device 2 by the Zero-Forcing method, and the second communication device 3 can be solved. data.
利用上述的投射方式,該無線收發器1可以從由該第二通信設備3所收到的信號中,去除因該第一通信設備2所送的信號而受到的影響,以進行正確的解碼。不但如此,該無線收發器1也以Successive Interference Cancellation的方法,對該第一通信設備2送來的信號串再解碼,即去除該第二通信設備3的信號成分,剩下原本第一通信裝置的單獨的訊號,再進行解碼。上述方式即為所謂的ZF-SIC法,並為業界廣泛應用。第2A圖即顯示該ZF-SIC方法應用在本發明實施例的示意圖。With the above-described projection method, the wireless transceiver 1 can remove the influence received by the signal transmitted by the first communication device 2 from the signal received by the second communication device 3 to perform correct decoding. In addition, the wireless transceiver 1 also re-decodes the signal string sent by the first communication device 2 by the method of Successive Interference Cancellation, that is, removes the signal component of the second communication device 3, leaving the original first communication device. The separate signal is then decoded. The above method is the so-called ZF-SIC method and is widely used in the industry. Fig. 2A shows a schematic diagram of the application of the ZF-SIC method in the embodiment of the present invention.
在上述處理過程中,如果第二通信設備3的信號解碼發生錯誤,則將害及對第一通信設備2的信號的解碼。因為該無線收發器1無法正確的從第一通信設備2送來的信號中,去除該第二通信設備3的信號成分。In the above processing, if the signal decoding of the second communication device 3 is erroneous, the decoding of the signal of the first communication device 2 will be impaired. Since the wireless transceiver 1 cannot correctly transmit the signal from the first communication device 2, the signal component of the second communication device 3 is removed.
此外,在上述處理過程中,由於將第二通信設備3的信號作投射的結果,將使第二通信設備3的信號產生強度的衰減。此時,如果第一通信設備2無法調整其資料傳輸速率,將損及其通信品質。過去的技術並沒有提供解決這項技術難題的方法,因而第二通信設備3只能繼續使用其原有的資料傳輸速率,直到一段時間後,該無線收發器1重新接受各個通信設備2、3、4的競爭為止。如此會造成全部的訊號都解不出來,反而降低其效能。Further, in the above processing, the signal of the second communication device 3 is caused to attenuate the intensity due to the projection of the signal of the second communication device 3. At this time, if the first communication device 2 cannot adjust its data transmission rate, its communication quality will be lost. The past technology does not provide a solution to this technical problem, so the second communication device 3 can only continue to use its original data transmission rate, and after a period of time, the wireless transceiver 1 re-accepts the respective communication devices 2, 3. 4, the competition so far. This will cause all the signals to be unsolved, but will reduce its effectiveness.
從第2A圖也可推知,當無線收發器1同時與第二通信設備3及第三通信設備4達成連線,同時傳輸資料時,第二通信設備3的通信品質會與第2A圖迥然不同。第2B圖即顯示此種情形。在第2B圖的情形,第二通信設備3可以使用較第2A圖的情形更高的傳輸速率,因為第二通信 設備3與第三通信設備4的信號通道方向夾角,角度較大。It can also be inferred from FIG. 2A that when the wireless transceiver 1 simultaneously connects with the second communication device 3 and the third communication device 4 and simultaneously transmits data, the communication quality of the second communication device 3 is completely different from that of FIG. 2A. . This is shown in Figure 2B. In the case of FIG. 2B, the second communication device 3 can use a higher transmission rate than the case of FIG. 2A because the second communication The angle between the device 3 and the signal path of the third communication device 4 is relatively large.
雖然本發明並不需受限於任何技術理論,但根據本發明人的發現,第二通信設備3的資料傳送品質,直接受到第一通信設備2的影響,故而原先所設定的通信速率,可能不符所需。而該第一通信設備2對於第二通信設備3的通信品質,亦即資料雜訊比SNR的影響,事實上可以根據兩通信設備的信號通道方向,計算得到。詳言之,該第二通信設備3的通信SNR在第一通信設備2信號的影響下,會成為SNRproj ,可以下式計算:SNRproj =SNRori ×sin2 (θ) (1),其中SNRproj :第二通信設備3於無線收發器1解碼時的信號強度(SNR);SNRori :第二通信設備3單獨傳送時的信號強度(SNR)θ:第二通信設備3與其他通信設備的信號通道h1 ,h2 ,...,hn 所形成空間的夾角。Although the present invention is not limited to any technical theory, according to the findings of the present inventors, the data transmission quality of the second communication device 3 is directly affected by the first communication device 2, and thus the originally set communication rate may be Does not match the requirements. The influence of the first communication device 2 on the communication quality of the second communication device 3, that is, the data noise ratio SNR, can be calculated according to the signal channel direction of the two communication devices. In detail, the communication SNR of the second communication device 3 becomes SNR proj under the influence of the signal of the first communication device 2, and can be calculated as follows: SNR proj = SNR ori × sin 2 (θ) (1), wherein SNR proj : signal strength (SNR) when the second communication device 3 is decoded by the wireless transceiver 1; SNR ori : signal strength (SNR) when the second communication device 3 is separately transmitted θ: the second communication device 3 and other communication devices The angle between the spaces formed by the signal paths h 1 , h 2 , ..., h n .
其中,該信號通道方向hn 為各通信設備對該收發器之天線傳信號的通道向量,hn =(hn1 ,hn2 ,...,hnm ),n為自然數,m表該收發器之天線數量。hn1 為一個複數,可表為a+bi,a,bR,此數值可由儀器測量。請參見第2A圖,圖中顯示信號通道夾角的示意。Wherein, the signal channel direction h n is a channel vector of each communication device transmitting a signal to the antenna of the transceiver, h n =(h n1 , h n2 , . . . , h nm ), n is a natural number, m table The number of antennas in the transceiver. h n1 is a complex number and can be expressed as a+bi, a, b R, this value can be measured by the instrument. See Figure 2A for an illustration of the angle of the signal path.
在本發明中,該通信設備單獨傳輸時的SNR(SNRori ),可利用互換(reciprocity)的方式計算。在實際應用上,可使該無線收發器1定期發出訊號,並使各個通信設備2、3、4根據該訊號來推測其單獨傳輸時的訊號強度SNRori 。這種應用技術在目前可見的論文中,已有廣泛的說明。簡言之,各通信設備至無線收發器1的通道,與無線收發器1到各通信設備的通道,互相間存在一個成整數倍關係。因此,根據從無線收發器1所接收到的信號,即可推算特定通信設備自己傳送到無線收發器1的信號特性。因此項技術屬於業界已知,其詳情在此不需贅述。In the present invention, the SNR (SNR ori ) when the communication device is separately transmitted can be calculated by means of reciprocity. In practical applications, the wireless transceiver 1 can periodically send a signal, and each communication device 2, 3, 4 can estimate the signal strength SNR ori when it is transmitted alone according to the signal. This application technique has been extensively described in the currently available papers. In short, the channel from each communication device to the wireless transceiver 1 and the channel from the wireless transceiver 1 to each communication device have an integer multiple relationship with each other. Therefore, based on the signal received from the wireless transceiver 1, the signal characteristics of the particular communication device itself transmitted to the wireless transceiver 1 can be estimated. Therefore, the technology is known in the industry, and the details thereof need not be described here.
在計算不同通信設備2、3、4間信號通道的角度時,可以使得到傳送機會的第一通信設備2,在特定的時間內廣播自己的信號方向,使 其他的通信設備3、4可以利用該信號通道方向資訊,根據上式計算自己當時的實際信號強度SNRproj 。When calculating the angles of the signal channels between the different communication devices 2, 3, 4, the first communication device 2 to the transmission opportunity can be broadcasted in a specific time to make its own signal direction, so that other communication devices 3, 4 can be utilized. The signal channel direction information is calculated according to the above formula, and the actual signal strength SNR proj at that time is calculated.
由於實際上的信號強度SNRproj 已知,該第二通信設備3即可根據該實際信號強度SNRproj 值,修正其資料傳輸速率,以使其信號強度成為最佳。該修正方法可以使用任何已知的方法,但在本發明的較佳實例中,是在不會影響其他通信設備(如第一通信設備2)的資料傳輸品質的可能範圍內,降低或提高自己的傳輸速率。其他調整資料傳輸速率的方法,也可以應用在本發明。Since the actual signal strength SNR proj is known, the second communication device 3 can correct its data transmission rate based on the actual signal strength SNR proj value to optimize its signal strength. The correction method may use any known method, but in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce or improve itself within a possible range that does not affect the data transmission quality of other communication devices (such as the first communication device 2). Transmission rate. Other methods of adjusting the data transmission rate can also be applied to the present invention.
因此,在上述實例中,本發明無線通信系統之資料傳輸控制方法的步驟可以參考第3圖說明如下。第3圖為本發明無線通信系統之資料傳輸控制方法第一實施例的流程圖:Therefore, in the above example, the steps of the data transmission control method of the wireless communication system of the present invention can be explained as follows with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a data transmission control method for a wireless communication system according to the present invention:
於步驟301,所有通信設備於無線接收器廣播訊號時,利用reciprocity的方法計算各自至無線收發器之通道訊息,並以此計算各自的信號雜訊比SNRori 。於步驟302,該第一通信設備2對該無線收發器1傳輸資料。於步驟303第一通信設備2廣播該通道信息。於步驟304第二通信設備3偵測該第一通信設備2廣播之通道信息計算與第一通信設備2共同傳輸資料時的訊號雜訊比SNRproj 。於步驟305第二通信設備3利用SNRproj調整傳送速率並開始傳送資料,於步驟306與無線收發器的通信於特定時間後同時結束其資料傳送。在本實施例中,是使用公式1的方法得到的訊號雜訊比SNRproj 來計算傳輸速率。In step 301, all communication devices use the reciprocity method to calculate the channel information of each of the wireless transceivers when the wireless receiver broadcasts the signal, and calculate the respective signal to noise ratio SNR ori . In step 302, the first communication device 2 transmits the data to the wireless transceiver 1. In step 303, the first communication device 2 broadcasts the channel information. In step 304, the second communication device 3 detects the channel information broadcast by the first communication device 2 and calculates a signal to noise ratio SNR proj when the data is transmitted together with the first communication device 2. In step 305, the second communication device 3 adjusts the transmission rate using SNRproj and starts transmitting data. At step 306, the communication with the wireless transceiver ends its data transmission at the same time. In this embodiment, the signal noise ratio SNR proj obtained by the method of Equation 1 is used to calculate the transmission rate.
至於本發明的通信設備之傳輸速率調整方法,則是使用在上例的第二通信設備3,依據該第一通信設備2的信號通道方向,調整傳輸速率的方法。其內容當不需贅述。As for the transmission rate adjustment method of the communication device of the present invention, the second communication device 3 of the above example is used, and the transmission rate is adjusted according to the signal channel direction of the first communication device 2. Its content does not need to be described.
不過,在上例中,如果該無線收發器1可以支援3或以上的通信設備同時傳輸資料,在第一通信設備2與第二通信設備3已經達成連線後,第三通信設備4即使與該無線收發器1建立連線,仍然無法計算出在第一通信設備2與第二通信設備3並存之下,該第三通信設備4的實際 信號強度SNRproj 。主要原因是該第三通信設備4並無法接收到該第二通信設備3之通道訊息,這是因為目前的通信設備往往只有一個天線,若第一通信裝置在第二通信裝置廣播通道訊息時仍傳送資料,則無法解出第一通信裝置與第二通信裝置混合的訊號;第三通信設備4所接收到的信號,含有第一通信設備2的信號成分與第二通信設備3的信號成分。However, in the above example, if the wireless transceiver 1 can support 3 or more communication devices to simultaneously transmit data, after the first communication device 2 and the second communication device 3 have reached a connection, the third communication device 4 is even The wireless transceiver 1 establishes a connection and still cannot calculate the actual signal strength SNR proj of the third communication device 4 under the coexistence of the first communication device 2 and the second communication device 3. The main reason is that the third communication device 4 cannot receive the channel information of the second communication device 3, because the current communication device often has only one antenna, if the first communication device still broadcasts the channel information when the second communication device broadcasts the channel information. When the data is transmitted, the signal mixed by the first communication device and the second communication device cannot be solved; the signal received by the third communication device 4 includes the signal component of the first communication device 2 and the signal component of the second communication device 3.
為解決這項問題,並提供本發明應用在3個或以上的通信設備同時傳輸的情形,本發明的第二實施例乃提供一種機制。即在多數(3或以上)通信設備仍可得知已加入傳送通信設備之通道訊息以調整自身的傳送速率。以下以3組通信設備的情形為例,說明本實施例的實施方法。3組以上的情形,可以由本例推演得知。To solve this problem and to provide a case where the present invention is applied to simultaneous transmission of three or more communication devices, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a mechanism. That is, in most (3 or more) communication devices, the channel information that has been added to the transmitting communication device can still be known to adjust its own transmission rate. The implementation method of this embodiment will be described below by taking the case of three sets of communication devices as an example. The situation of more than three groups can be derived from the deduction of this example.
第4圖為本發明無線通信系統之資料傳輸控制方法第二實施例的流程圖。該方法適用在支援3或以上通信設備的應用。如圖所示,該方法包括以下步驟:4 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a data transmission control method for a wireless communication system of the present invention. This method is suitable for applications that support 3 or more communication devices. As shown, the method includes the following steps:
於步驟401所有通信設備於無線接收器廣播訊號時,利用reciprocity的方法計算各自至無線收發器之通道訊息,並以此計算各自的信號雜訊比SNRori 。於步驟402,該第一通信設備2對該無線收發器1傳輸資料。於步驟403第一通信設備2廣播該通道信息。於步驟404第二通信設備3及第三通信設備4偵測該第一通信設備2對該無線收發器1傳輸之通道信息,第二通信設備計算自身的SNRproj。於步驟405第二通信設備3利用SNRproj調整對該無線收發器1的傳送速率並開始傳輸資料。於步驟406第二通信設備廣播其與無線收發器間的通道訊息,第一通信設備2此時暫停其資料傳輸,例如傳出null信號。於該第一通信設備2停止傳輸資料期間,於步驟407第二通信設備3廣播該通道信息且該第三通信設備4偵測該第二通信設備3對該無線收發器1傳輸之通道信息,此時第三通信設備已得知第一及第二通信設備的通道訊息並計算SNRproj。於步驟408第一及第二通信設備恢復原本的資料傳輸。於步驟409第三通信設備4依據所得的雜訊比SNRproj 調整該自身之傳送速率並開始傳送資料。In step 401, all the communication devices use the reciprocity method to calculate the channel information of each channel to the wireless transceiver when the wireless receiver broadcasts the signal, and calculate the respective signal to noise ratio SNR ori . In step 402, the first communication device 2 transmits the data to the wireless transceiver 1. In step 403, the first communication device 2 broadcasts the channel information. In step 404, the second communication device 3 and the third communication device 4 detect the channel information transmitted by the first communication device 2 to the wireless transceiver 1, and the second communication device calculates its own SNRproj. In step 405, the second communication device 3 adjusts the transmission rate to the wireless transceiver 1 using SNRproj and starts transmitting data. In step 406, the second communication device broadcasts a channel message with the wireless transceiver, and the first communication device 2 suspends its data transmission at this time, for example, a null signal is transmitted. During the time when the first communication device 2 stops transmitting data, the second communication device 3 broadcasts the channel information in step 407, and the third communication device 4 detects the channel information transmitted by the second communication device 3 to the wireless transceiver 1. At this time, the third communication device has learned the channel information of the first and second communication devices and calculates SNRproj. In step 408, the first and second communication devices resume the original data transmission. In step 409, the third communication device 4 adjusts the transmission rate of the self according to the obtained noise ratio SNR proj and starts transmitting data.
該方法尚可包括步驟410,於預定時間後,停止該收發裝置接受該多數通信設備傳輸資料之步驟,以重新開使多數通信設備的競爭。The method may further include the step 410 of stopping the receiving device from accepting the data transmission by the plurality of communication devices after the predetermined time to reopen the competition of the plurality of communication devices.
在以上的控制中,第一通信裝置依照原本單獨傳時所選的傳送速率進行傳送;第二通信裝置同時考慮自己與第一通信裝置間的通道,計算SNRproj ,利用查表的方式,選擇自己最佳的傳送速率;第三通信裝置同時考慮自己與第一及第二通信裝置的通道,計算SNRproj ,利用查表的方式,選擇自己的傳送速率,餘此類推。In the above control, the first communication device transmits according to the transmission rate selected at the time of the original transmission; the second communication device simultaneously considers the channel between itself and the first communication device, calculates the SNR proj , and selects by using the lookup table. The best transmission rate of the self; the third communication device considers its own channel with the first and second communication devices, calculates the SNR proj , selects its own transmission rate by means of look-up table, and so on.
本發明的資料傳輸控制裝置,是用來控制一無線通信系統,該系統包括一具有二或以上天線的收發裝置,可與多數通信設備進行資料傳輸。該控制裝置之控制方法即為第4圖所示的步驟。The data transmission control device of the present invention is for controlling a wireless communication system, and the system comprises a transceiver device having two or more antennas for data transmission with a plurality of communication devices. The control method of the control device is the step shown in Fig. 4.
為證明本發明的效果,分別以2支天線(支援2組通信設備)的無限收發器及3支天線(支援3組通信設備)的無限收發器,以本發明方法,根據自己計算信號解碼時的SNR,選擇傳輸速率的方法,以及傳統802.11方法分別測試。結果如第5、6圖所示。其中,第5圖表示應用在雙天線系統,本發明、以自己傳輸信號的SNR選擇傳輸速率與以傳統802.11的總傳輸率(mbps)比較圖。第6圖表示應用在三天線系統,本發明、以自己傳輸信號的SNR選擇傳輸速率與以傳統802.11的總傳輸率(mbps)比較圖。圖中顯示,本發明的總傳輸率為傳統方法的1.7倍(雙天線系統)與2.3倍(三天線系統)。於MU-MIMO中,若沒有考慮收發器解碼時速率選擇的問題,即如圖中「以自己傳輸信號的SNR選擇傳輸速率」所示,通信設備可能選用使路由器完全無法解碼的傳輸速率,導致傳輸率降為0。In order to prove the effect of the present invention, an infinite transceiver of two antennas (supporting two sets of communication devices) and an infinite transceiver of three antennas (supporting three sets of communication devices) are respectively decoded by the method of the present invention according to the self-calculated signal. The SNR, the method of selecting the transmission rate, and the traditional 802.11 method are tested separately. The results are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Among them, Fig. 5 shows a comparison between the SNR selection transmission rate of the self-transmitted signal and the total transmission rate (mbps) of the conventional 802.11 applied to the dual antenna system. Figure 6 shows the application of the three-antenna system. The present invention compares the transmission rate of the SNR with its own transmitted signal with the total transmission rate (mbps) of the conventional 802.11. The figure shows that the total transmission rate of the present invention is 1.7 times (two-antenna system) and 2.3 times (three-antenna system) of the conventional method. In MU-MIMO, if the problem of rate selection during transceiver decoding is not considered, as shown in the figure "Selecting the transmission rate by SNR of its own transmission signal", the communication device may select a transmission rate that makes the router completely unable to decode, resulting in a transmission rate. The transmission rate is reduced to zero.
